Zipf's law on word frequency and Heaps' law on the growth of distinct words are observed in
Indo-European language family, but it does not hold for languages like Chinese, Japanese …

Fraud risk is higher than ever before. Unfortunately, many auditors lack the expertise to deal
with the related risks. The objectives of this research are to develop an innovative fraud …

In this paper, we analyze statistical properties of English and Chinese written human
language within the framework of weighted complex networks. The two language networks …

We show that the Zipf's law for Chinese characters perfectly holds for sufficiently short texts
(few thousand different characters). The scenario of its validity is similar to the Zipf's law for …

A statistical physics study of punctuation effects on sentence lengths is presented for written
texts: Alice in wonderland and Through a looking glass. The translation of the first text into …

In this paper, we carried out a statistical analysis on the Chinese corpus in the Tang, Song,
Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as in the modern time. We found that character and …

The word-frequency distribution of a text written by an author is well accounted for by a
maximum entropy distribution, the RGF (random group formation)-prediction. The RGF …

Zipf's law is ubiquitous in a language system, which establishes a relation between rank and
frequency of characters or words. In the present study, it is shown that the distribution of …

Human language, as a typical complex system, its organization and evolution is an attractive
topic for both physical and cultural researchers. In this paper, we present the first exhaustive …

Zipf's law is a succinct yet powerful mathematical law in linguistics. However, the
meaningfulness and units of the law have remained controversial. The current study uses …
